Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family - Chapter 433

Chapter 433: Chapter 433: The Joy of Moving

He wrapped his hand around her waist, leaned his nose against her hair, and took a deep breath. The corner of his mouth unconsciously rose, filled with satisfaction and happiness after.

She was weak and tired, her eyes half closed.

When she heard his voice, she immediately opened her big, wet eyes and tried to escape from his embrace.

But he laughed softly and caught her back again behind him.

“You bastard! You know I can’t take it anymore.”

His demands were so urgent and frequent, how could her delicate little body withstand it?

“Don’t be afraid, kitten! I was just talking. Hurry up and cover yourself with the quilt. What will we do if you catch a cold?”

As he spoke, he quickly picked up the quilt and carefully covered her.

Liu Sisi couldn’t stand it. She wriggled under the quilt and revealed her little head, filled with resentment.

“Bastard! I’m all sticky, and I feel so uncomfortable!”

As she spoke, she angrily glared at him. It was all because of this bastard that her entire body felt limp, and she didn’t even want to move her fingers.

A sweet and greasy feeling spread in Di Yelei’s heart. He laughed heartily, leaned down, and kissed her little mouth again. He lingered for a while, teasing her until they both were panting, then finally let her go.

“You stay here for a while. I’ve prepared hot water, and I’ll bring it in for you later.”

As he spoke, he got up quickly and left the room.

Liu Sisi was dazed until a chill came from her skin, which finally woke her from her hazy slumber.

She barely opened her eyes, then closed them again and fell back into a deep sleep.

The next day, early in the morning, Liu Sisi was awakened by whining sounds.

She reluctantly opened her eyes and found that it was Da Mao beside her, leaning over and saying, “Auntie, I need to pee…”

Liu Sisi closed her eyes and opened them again, opening and closing several times before finally getting up resignedly. Only then did she find that her whole body felt as if it had been run over by a train, with no part not aching and no part not protesting.

After dressing and taking Da Mao to the restroom, Liu Sisi looked around and couldn’t find Di Yelei.

“Old Cheng! Old Cheng!”

Old Cheng quickly ran in from outside, holding a rag in his hand: “Madam, what can I do for you?”

Liu Sisi glanced at Old Cheng: “Old Cheng, have you seen Ye Lei go out?”

“Madam, the Old Master went out before dawn. He seemed to say that he was going to look at houses in the town. He said that he had seen a set yesterday and was going to take a closer look today and settle the price.”

“Oh, I see. That’s fine, you can go back to work.”

Liu Sisi casually dismissed Old Cheng.

Ye Lei had gone to the town to look for a house – she didn’t know if he had told his father about moving to the small town to live.

She turned around, thinking for a moment, and found Elderly Mr. Di watching Di Xuan write in the hall.

“Father, Sisi has something to discuss with you.”

Liu Sisi said softly.

Elderly Mr. Di made a silencing gesture, and after leaving the hall, he looked back at her.

“Third Child’s daughter-in-law, you… have something to discuss?”

“Father, Sisi does have something to consult with you.”

Only then did Liu Sisi tell her father-in-law her decision, and continued, “Ye Lei has already gone to the small town to look for a house. If the price is suitable, we plan to stay temporarily in the small town. After all, my body is getting heavier day by day, and Xuan’er is attending the village school, and it’s really hard to travel in this snowy weather. So, if Ye Lei finds a house, we’d like to move in to it with you. What do you think…?”

Elderly Mr. Di looked at her noncommittally, stood there looking up at the courtyard outside, and was silent for a long time.

“Father, Sisi and Ye Lei have thought about it, and on his days off from the governmental office, every five days, we’ll live here for the day. On weekdays, we’ll live in the small town. You have worked hard all your life, and now that you have a house full of children and grandchildren, it’s time for you to enjoy yourself a bit. Living in the small town for a while may also help clear your mind and lift your spirits.”

Liu Sisi had a reason for saying this.

Although Elderly Mr. Di lived in the third family branch’s house, he was always gloomy. From the initial trouble caused by Ms. Zhao to the current indifference, it made Elderly Mr. Di feel uncomfortable in his heart but also unable to let go.

She could see that Elderly Mr. Di must have deep feelings for his original wife, Ms. Dou, but to say that he has no feelings for Ms. Zhao at all is a lie.

Even a dog, after spending three years together, will develop some feelings; let alone a husband and wife who have lived together for decades!

It’s not good for the two of them to be at odds like this. It’s better for Elderly Mr. Di to live in the small town for a while, instead of being gloomy all the time; maybe things will take a turn for the better.

In fact, she doesn’t want to see Ms. Xin’s spy around her, so she wants to move to the small town.

“Let’s see…”

In the end, Elderly Mr. Di gave a noncommittal answer, turned around, and walked to the well with his crutch.

The sleeping fog in the well opening was steaming, the water temperature was pleasant, and even on this snowy cold day, washing clothes here was not cold and very comfortable.

“Father, Sisi really wants you to go out and walk around!”

Liu Sisi called out to him from behind, but Elderly Mr. Di didn’t answer.

In the afternoon, Di Yelei returned and brought good news.

“I found a shop in the small town. The shop front is not big because it’s occupied by a grain and oil shop next door, but the courtyard inside is very large. Even if our whole family moves in, there is more than enough space. Because of the small shop front and the excessively large courtyard, the landlord is asking for 30 taels of silver a year, but it’s still vacant…”

“Have you seen the inside? Is there any problem with the house? Have you asked anyone else? For example, if there is someone inside…”

Actually, what Liu Sisi wanted to ask was if anyone had died in that house.

However, given it’s right before the New Year, it wasn’t appropriate to ask directly.

Realizing what she meant, Di Yelei answered, “I’ve already asked people about it, and there’s nothing wrong with the shop. I even asked Dr. He, who lives diagonally across from it. Don’t worry.”

This surprised Liu Sisi.

“You actually found a shop diagonally across from Dr. He? This is going to be fun.”

Mysteriously, she suddenly thought of the medicine pageboy and Dr. He, who loved to eat delicious food while nodding his head.

“If Father knew about this, he might be pleased!”

Di Yelei also laughed, “Dr. He said that after we move in, we’ll have to have a big meal to celebrate, and he specifically asked you to cook. ”

“That’s not a big problem, but I’m afraid I’ll have to ask Dr. He to spend more time with Father in the future!”
